"Everything is basically settled. When Miss Xu first arrived in Ningyang, I should have done my best to serve as a landlord. There is a restaurant in front of me, and the food there should be very suitable to Miss Xu's appetite."
As Wu Chao spoke, he pointed forward and said, "It's not far. It only takes half a quarter of an hour to walk there."
After hearing what he said, Xu Mingyi nodded.
This place was a lively place, with people coming and going, it was inevitably a bit crowded, so the two of them walked slowly side by side among the bustling crowd.
At this time, a group of children rushed out from nowhere. The leader held a colorful bamboo ball in his hand, which caused a group of children behind to chase and play.
Everyone hurriedly escaped, and there was a brief confusion in the crowd. Xu Mingyi was bumped by one of the children, and squeezed by someone unknown. As she was unstable, a slender and powerful hand suddenly supported her shoulder.
"Be careful—"
When she stood firm, Wu Chao immediately took back his hand, put it behind his back and gently clasped his fingers.
Xu Mingyi said "Thank you" to him.
"Ningyang is slightly different from Beijing. The control is relatively relaxed. In addition, it is approaching the New Year, so it is inevitable that it will be noisy, but you don't feel used to it?" Wu Chao asked.
"Yes some."
Xu Mingyi looked at the lively scene around her. The bright lights reflected in her pupils, making her eyes look particularly dark and bright. There was a bright smile in her tone: "But I like this kind of excitement very much."
Having seen the desolation and misery of troubled times, I feel that such prosperity and liveliness are particularly valuable.
Ningyang City in the previous life, after something happened to the Wu family, became an existence that was vented by the imperial court.
The fate of countless people was changed as a result, and the people's originally stable and happy lives were completely overturned overnight.
Wu Chao glanced at her, then followed her gaze and looked forward.
On the contrary, he never likes crowds.
But at this time...he also liked it very much.
"This is a theater building, and inside is the famous Chunxi Troupe in Ningyang City. If you like to listen to operas, you can come here and have a seat."
"This should be a jewelry building... I have seen my mother come here before, and I think the contents inside should be enough to see."
Along the way, the young man carefully and patiently introduced the surrounding shops.
Sui Jiang followed behind, frequently casting puzzled glances.
Along the way, I listened to the conversation of Shisun, who usually cherishes words like gold... Those who didn't know thought that his grandson was the Zhike translator hired by this girl disguised as a man to introduce the local customs and characteristics!
But his master was still preaching: "If you want to know anything, want to play or want to eat, just tell me -"
In fact, Wu Chao didn't quite know how to entertain a girl, so he could only say more words.
Xu Mingyi said "Okay" and couldn't help turning her head to look at him.
The lights on the street flickered, making the young man's profile more clear and profound. His facial features were more handsome, and his temperament tended to be cold. All in all... he didn't look like a talkative person.
And no matter how lively it is, it's still cold on winter nights.
This is a relatively unfamiliar city to her——
But now that he was beside her, and listening to his words, she felt that her whole body was warm, inexplicably grounded and stable.
Or maybe she hadn't seen him for some time, and when she saw him for the first time, she always felt that he was no longer as comfortable and casual as when she got along with him in the capital before, and he was even a little restrained——
But now, all this has been washed away by his seriousness and patience.
He doesn't seem to do this deliberately, so people can feel his pure sincerity more and more.
She is really happy.
Although he had made his purpose clear before coming here, this trip was just to reassure himself and did not force him to fully welcome her arrival——
However, who doesn’t like to be truly welcomed?
She is just a superficial and ordinary person. She will be very happy if she is taken seriously by others and sees them showing joy and joy because of her arrival.
Only then did she realize that many emotions between people are so complementary and connected.
Aware of her gaze, Wu Chao pretended not to know anything, but his heart was beating very fast all the time. Fortunately, if it weren't for the noise of the crowd, it would not be able to cover up the sound of this heartbeat.
He suddenly regretted it.
He should... choose a restaurant further away.
Just because even if the two of them walked slowly enough, they still arrived at the restaurant he was talking about very quickly.
The young man suddenly hesitated.
Hey, he didn't specify the name of the restaurant just now, but now he suddenly thought that another restaurant seemed good, so she might not be able to notice the temporary change, right?
But it seems a bit unfair to do so——
The young man was hesitating when he suddenly heard a follower in his ear say: "Young Master, you'll be right in front of the Yuan Tower!" - Although the Young Master didn't mention the name of the restaurant clearly, the dishes served in this restaurant are the same as those in the capital, so they must be what the Young Master said.
The one that suits Miss Xu's appetite is correct.
"..." Wu Chao slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Qi who warned.
Great, no need to hesitate now.
The shopkeeper in the restaurant obviously recognized Wu Cha. Upon seeing this, he immediately came to greet him personally and respectfully invited him to the private room on the second floor.
Listening to the sound of his grandson and the girl discussing the order in the private room, Sui Jiang, who was standing outside, couldn't hold back and confirmed to Xiao Qi: "...Didn't the young master already have dinner before?"
Now he even wonders if he remembered it wrong?
Xiao Qi looked at him.
I am still struggling with this obvious question. Did Sui Jiang turn out to be a fool?
Experience told him that if a person's head is not clear, no matter how much he talks, it will be in vain, so Xiao Qi said: "Young Master is hungry again. Besides, you only ate vegetables before, and you really didn't eat."
"..." Sui Jiang was silent for a moment, then asked: "Who is this Miss Xu?"
Xiaoqi's performance was obviously that he recognized the other party.
"The girl from Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, the granddaughter of General Xu." Xiao Qi whispered: "Remember not to make any noise."
Sui Jiang frowned.
This status is indeed extraordinary, but his son is a grandson of the Wu family. Even if the princess comes, there is no need to entertain people in person like this, right? Even going to a brothel is scary, so cautious
What is the picture?
Seeing his thoughts from his expression, Xiao Qi was secretly surprised - he didn't have an elm head, but an iron head!
Just now he said that he would use his life as a guarantee in front of Miss Xu, but he still thought that she was a trickster and wanted to compete with him for work.
Before leaving the capital, Brother Wu told him the secret that Shisun had a crush on Miss Xu, in order to let him behave well in front of Shisun - so he would give Shisun timely reminders tonight.
Since Sui Jiang can't tell, he can show it secretly. After all, he has only been in Ningyang for a short time, so he has to make some achievements to gain a foothold.
Xiao Qi planned it seriously.
In the private room, while waiting for the food to be served, Wu Chao asked Xu Mingyi, "I wonder what Miss Xu is going to do in Ningyang during her trip? Is there anything I can help with?"
Xu Mingyi held a tea cup in his hand and looked at the young man who was as enthusiastic and righteous as ever with a smile in his eyes.
Of course he can help -
What she has to do is to protect him. He is doing her a favor by taking care of himself, which is her wish.
